It's possible, but not likely. While depo is designed to offer protection for about 13 weeks at a time, it often lasts longer. Consider that many women find it can take quite a few months after stopping using depo before they regain adequate fertility to achieve a pregnancy.

It could happen soon after, it could take more than a year for some women.
